Weather forecasters were correct: rain arrived over the north state yesterday bringing long awaited moisture to the tinder dry area around Chico, where the Camp Fire caused such devastation in the town of Paradise. Firefighters believe they may have the blaze contained today or tomorrow. Containment will not improve the lives of evacuees who are dispersed far and wide around the area. Many are in shelters in Chico, some in Sacramento, some with relatives where they can find them. More than 10, 000 structures were destroyed in the wind-driven inferno. The death toll is close to 80 lives, and the search for victims continues.
The Woolsey fire in Southern California' s city of Malibu is just about fully contained. The firefighters on the scene are confident their efforts have been successful. Time will tell.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
